REGIONS OF PANAMA
Panamá is usually seperated into nine provinces and two territories. The provinces are : Panamá, Chiriquí, Bocas del Toro, Coclé, Colón, Darién, Herrera, Los Santos and Veraguas. There are also two independent territories: Ngöbe-Buglé and Kuna Yala (San Blas Islands) The politically seperated provinces are normally not very important for travelling through the country. Therefore we have seperated Panama in 5 travel regions, which we recommend you should visit. Panama can be divided in 5 regions: - Panama–City: Including the panama-canal, although it also reaches the Caribbean cost. - The central Caribbean: The beginning of the canal and province capital Colón. In the south of Colón are beautiful beaches. - The central Pacific: Not too far from the capital, the central pacific coast passes over to the south-west into the peninsula Azuero. - West-Panama: Is consisted of the provinces Veraguas, Chiriquí and Bocas del Toro. West-panama adjoins to the border of Costa Rica. - East-Panama: The east encloses the wild province Darién, which reaches to the border of Columbia. The most important cities of panama are listed below, you can find more information about them at each chapter of the region. See more: List of regions of Panama |
